In this order, it won't try to recurse into a directory for which
it doesn't have permission, before changing that permission.
This follows an existing behavior in other BSDs, linux, OS X.

- Fix logic error with -f and -v options - don't print
the usual -v output if there was an error, whether or not
we were passed -f

is identical to the mode computed from that ACL will modify the ACL.
For example, mode computed from the following ACL is 0600:
user:kamila:rwx--------C--:------:allow
owner@:--x-----------:------:deny
owner@:rw-p---A-W-Co-:------:allow
group@:rwxp----------:------:deny
group@:--------------:------:allow
everyone@:rwxp---A-W-Co-:------:deny
everyone@:------a-R-c--s:------:allow
However, applying that mode (chmod 0600) changes the ACL into this:
user:kamila:rwx-----------:------:deny
user:kamila:rwx--------C--:------:allow
owner@:--x-----------:------:deny
owner@:rw-p---A-W-Co-:------:allow
group@:rwxp----------:------:deny
group@:--------------:------:allow
everyone@:rwxp---A-W-Co-:------:deny
everyone@:------a-R-c--s:------:allow
In chmod(1) utility, there is an optimisation, which makes it not
call chmod(2) if the mode of the file is the same as the new mode.
Disable that optimisation for files which may have NFSv4 ACLs.

``chown -h owner symlink'' did not set the symlink's owner
if the file the symlink points to already had that owner:
# ls -l alink afile
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody ru 0 May 31 14:14 afile
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root ru 5 May 31 14:14 alink -> afile
# ./chown -h -v nobody alink
# ls -l alink afile
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody ru 0 May 31 14:14 afile
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root ru 5 May 31 14:14 alink -> afile
Similarly for chgrp(1) and chmod(1).
This is required by symlink(7), ``Commands not traversing a file tree''
subsection, third paragraph:
: It is important to realize that this rule includes commands which may
: optionally traverse file trees, e.g. the command ``chown file'' is
: included in this rule, while the command ``chown -R file'' is not.
For chown(8) and chgrp(1), this is also is compliance with the latest
POSIX 1003.1-200x draft.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
/usr/src/bin. Note that some patches are still needed in that directory.
I (Joerg) finished most of Philippe's cleanup. /bin/sh will still
need *allot* of work, however.
